    Regardless you need to report it. Just be smart about it. Take the deductions the American government gives you and use the Sch C form regardless of how much you make. Line 21 Other Income is just giving them money. TurboTax has a program for this that will walk you through Exactly how to depreciate Business Use of Home which a good majority of your deductions would come from. New computer? Depreciate it.

    Yep, they're gonna have my tired ass for around 24 hours. Assuming I sleep well during the night and don't have obvious apnea (which we don't think so), they'll keep me during the day for the Multiple Sleep Latency Test - basically they torture me to keep me awake for 2 hours, and then see how quickly I fall asleep during a nap, then repeat 4 or 5 times.

    you'll have to check with the high rollers, but I was under the impression if Amazon handles more than $20k in a calander year for you they send a 1099 to cover their own ass. @Kadauchi and @Tripsa I think have met that threshold and can possibly shed more light.

    I haven't actually read it in depth, as soon as I saw the "it's self income", I stopped because I've been all around the self-income block many a year. Last year I had 2 different business (turk and my failed etsy store), so it was Schedule SE and C for EVERYONE!

    Speaking of taxes.
    What FREE software from the irs website for people who are making under 60k or whatever it is - will actually let you do self-employment income for free without trying to upcharge you?

    I'm curious of that's a thing.....I think maybe the e-file one? But you basically have to do it by hand and then just type in your calculations. I got tired of getting 80% of the way through for various other services to be like "Hold up, you have more than the EZ, pay us or GTFO" so I just do them by hand
